Important Information About Our Pet Pantry
- Free Pet Food & Supplies: Available to families in Utah. All items are donated and provided based on availability. They’re meant to supplement, not fully replace, your regular pet food. This is per family not per household.
- No Proof of Income Needed: If you say you need assistance, we trust you. No financial info required.

- Spay/Neuter Requirement: All pets must be spayed or neutered within 6-12 months of starting the program. We may be able to help cover the cost.
- ID Required: You’ll need to show some form of identification. It doesn’t have to be government-issued. It can be a photo ID, a letter with your name/address, or a caseworker note.
- No New Pets: You can’t add new pets to the application during the first 6 months unless there’s a change in circumstances and it’s approved.
- Picking Up for Someone Else: We’ll need their info on file.
- Phone Intake Required: A 5-10 minute call is part of the application process. Let us know if you need a different format. We’re happy to accommodate.
